Laval Race 4 - Prix De La Varenne - Attele
MY SWEET DADDY (2) First up after a 89 week break. Unsighted last time at Vincennes. Happy to overlook that run and was on debut last time. Can take this out. MAESTRO DE RETZ (6) Came in 6th last time at La Capelle. Should improve and showing consistent performance in races. SéBastien Ernault is a crucial engagement. Key player. MAJOR DU BELVER (7) Game effort to win narrowly last time at Chateaubriant and honest performer putting a tidy record together. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts. Looks to be value. MY BOY D'ANJOU (9) Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at Pornichet and was a debutant last start. Up to these.

At $3.50 ran 6th last time at La Capelle. Should improve and promising career start. SéBastien Ernault rates highly aboard. One of the punters top hopes.

Game effort to win narrowly last time at Chateaubriant and good career start. Can't knock the form winning 2 in a row. Can win this.
